He has to go on the what the results say. As a show host the adjective "alledgedly" will only get you so far, but unlike most of us that can look at the negative tests to much chagrin I don't think it's Steve's job to tell us that. Anyone with half a brain of horseracing knowledge can draw their own conclusions.

I really wasn't attacking Steve I have no reason to do as such. I am hoping for a racing advocate to come about in the media who has the current exposure that Steve has on ATRAB. A strong daily voice is powerful, racing sure could use a public advocate.. If Steve wishes to run his show as such he is certainly entitled to. Racing needs some help and sometimes media can be a powerful vehicle!

We need a person who is willing to piss off the ole boy network, not take peoples BS without knowledgible rebuttle and truly be an advocate for bettors and horses.. You know like .............

I hear you, I don't disagree in principle. But as a public figure you have to understand you really have to tightrope facts from opinions. It's a slippery slope.

Steve would lose quite a few guests if he took that route...

And they would lose a platform on which to promote themselves. That being said, I fully appreciate Steve's position.

That is why we have Mr. Serling, he has an opinion and isn't afraid to say what is on his mind.

I'm not sure I have ever heard Andy call out a trainer as being dirty, of course I can be wrong. He too as a journalist has to be careful with what bridges he nukes...

Journalists cross bridges they need not nuke them. Tim Russet didn't nuke bridges but he exposed BS and demanded integrity from his guests. I would rather listen to a "meet the press" format on racing then the current listens available.. But that is just me and I don't suggest there is anything wrong with Steve's show as it is what it is...Basically late night TV radio without the top ten list.. which is HIGHLY entertaining for many and serves as an good listen.

With the Democratic primary contest over, Steve might be able to get the band that played the late night shows that Dan Abrams did - definitely Mike Douglas material.
